Is there more hatred of metal amongst the left or right today?

[Badger]

Metal is working class, making it a target of derision by both the right and the most visible sector of the puhgressive left.

Also I like this point I made elsewhere arguing with someone about how hardcore scene music is so much more progressive: Has any metal band ever had a song about feeling guilty for staring at a girl's ass?

probably not because people in metal bands are human beings instead of guilt-ridden robotic losers

This.

The lunatic elements of the right (Christian fundamentalists) and the pseudo-left (SJWs) probably hate it more or less equally, although the former is a much larger group with (for the moment) a much bigger impact on society at large, so I voted 'the right' in this semi-retarded poll. I remember metal music being described as satanic at my SBC church growing up, and I also recall my mom being uneasy about me listening to it in high school, so that's anecdotal, but whatever. At the end of the day the Christian fundamentalist and the Social Justice Warrior are one in the same as is, so its a moot point.

It is fascinating to me how BRTD argues that "METAL SO RIGHT WING!" when metal musicians have historically been more likely to be attacked by right wing institutions like organized religion for being a cult of Satan, even going so far as to take metal bands (this is probably the most well known episode outside of the PMRC label case) to court over teenage suicides.  Seriously, I remember reading a protestant self-study (oh the horror, I thought proties were all open minded liberals!) that identified Ozzy Osbourne as a member of the Church of Satan.

It is amazing how much fact the redder ignores to suit his own biases.

Yeah, special level of lulz for believing that more than 1% at most of Metallica, Anthrax, Iron Maiden, Motorhead, et al fans have ever heard of, let alone listen to, the sub-sub genre of neo Nazi Scandinavian death metal. i wonder if it has ever dawned on him that most white power bands like Skrewdriver are DECIDEDLY punk in their "music".

I usually forget Atlas within 2 seconds of logging off, but this post was so awful it has nagged at the back of my brain for weeks.

If a guy blatantly stares at a girl's ass while he is with another woman, that's insulting to his date and a douche move. If it is done in such an overt lecherous way as to make the recipient uncomfortable, that's even more dickish. It would also be rather shallow and self-absorbed to do so while one's own significant other is sick in bed, or giving birth (saw a guy checking a nurse's backside hard as his girlfriend was being wheeled into the maternity ward---toolwaffle)

Beyond those exceptions though, it is the height of weeniedom to actually feel guilty for checking out a woman's body.

The height of weeniedom, except to feel compelled to write a song over such ass-glimpsing guilt is somehow far, far worse. The nadir of pussydom. There, I said it.

Pussy? Also it's clearly an attack on overall objectification of women through society in general. See the last line.

My God . i never dreamed it could be even worse than you described , and yet it is.
